treble 0 Report post Posted October 23, 2003 Yeah, I don't expect Loria to sell off this team, but I don't think he'll be able to re-sign a lot of his free agents, especially since someone's going to offer Pudge a ton of cash this year. The Phillies will probably win the division next year, but I don't think the Marlins will fall as far as the Angels did this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted October 23, 2003 Angels really didn't fall off, it was more because they were attacked by a rash of injuries mid season...They still have that same core for next season... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted October 23, 2003 Great job by Joe Torre tonight. Having your worst pitcher out there to decide the game. You had 3 other relievers who are better than Weaver. It's too bad Rivera was wasted for 2 innings in Game 3. The Yankees had a 6-1 lead going into the 9th. No need to waste him in the 9th, when you might need him in for 2 crucial innings in Game 4.

Gert T 0 Report post Posted October 23, 2003 Well because of their owner- I consider the Florida Marlins to be a disgrace to baseball. I hope the Yankees can win two out of three so I don't have to witness that worthless fuck Loria celebrating. Yes you do, have you seen some of the shirts he's been wearing at the games! Periwinkle power! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted October 23, 2003 added payroll so he could sign the players for his ONE profit making championship winning season so he could save his money by dealing them away. Actually, Loria didn't own the team then. Wayne Huzeinga (sp?) did. Jeff Loria owned the Expos until last year, when he literally moved EVERYTHING from the Expos to the Marlins. The current state of the Expos should tell you everything you need to know about Jeff Loria. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The current state of the Expos should tell you everything you need to know about Jeff Loria. Oh I'm well aware of this, Loria is an even bigger shithead then Wayne Hueengzia (sp?) ever would be...at least Wayne was straight up telling people he was going for a one year title run... People forget that Loria assembled an great crop of players in the Mid 90s with the likes of Pedro, Fassero, Urbina, Larry Walker, Alou, Floyd, Vlad, Grudzielanek and yet squatted it away for low cost players without giving the team a chance... So why would we expect him to be any different when nearly 3/4 of the starting lineup will be facing arrbt and F.A? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sandman9000 0 Report post Posted October 23, 2003 Weaver was supposed to be on the post-season roster to pitch in the event the Yanks were getting blown out. Not to be pitching in extra innings. Unless the Yanks do get blown out, we won't see Weaver in a pinstripes uniform again. And if the Marlins do beat the Yanks for the title, I'm blaming the loss square on Jeff Weaver.

Guest Smell the ratings!!! Report post Posted October 23, 2003 I was suprised to see Weaver come out for the 13th. I figured he'd only be in for an inning. somebody help me with the pitching matchups: I know tonight is Penny vs. Wells Redman vs. Mussina and Beckett vs. Pettite maybe?

Mik 0 Report post Posted October 23, 2003 There is heavy talk from Marlins camp that because Redman was so ineffective, Willis might get the call for Game 6. He pitched well in the Bronx in game one. We'll see what McKeon actually does. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Ghettoman Report post Posted October 23, 2003 How was putting Weaver in a bad idea when he threw all of one bad pitch? You can't put Rivera out just expecting your going to get the lead...Say he puts Rivera in, and they don't score for 2-3 innings, he becomes overworked, and if they do get the lead they would of had to of had Weaver save it. It's just more logical to put Weaver in while it's tied and use Rivera if you get a lead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KingPK 0 Report post Posted October 23, 2003 Rivera was in for three innings in ALCS Game 7 with the score tied. That worked out pretty well for them, didn't it? Hell, I would have put Zimmer in there over Weaver. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
